The strongest event will be the boys high jump where both Brian Robinson and Dave Swanson qualified at 6-4. Swanson has cleared 7 feet earlier this year.

Chris Fisher, Notre Dame, won the 300-meter intermediate hurdles with a mark of 39.10. He will be the top seed next Saturday.

Head Coach Jon Mack of Notre Dame is looking forward to a showdown between Fisher and Loyola’s Eddie McElroy, who finished third in 39.93. “It will be a tight race, and Fisher has to be at his best. They have battled each other the past four years and it should be exciting, “ Mack said.

Calabasas’ Andrea De La Monica is the top seed in the 800. She won the event with a time of 2:17.31.

Agoura will send four competitors to the finals. Calabasas will have three, Crespi two and Notre Dame two.
